In fairness to RM, he is not in business to give stuff to people for free. He is in it to make money.

If he wants to charge for access to his site, that's his business. It's also his problem if he loses visitors.

Yes I get this but if he offers this for free now why suddenly does it have to be charged for he is just a money grabber in my eyes.

He really isn't a nice guy in my eyes he is evil and this shows when he shut down the paaper he owed just because they was anti maggie and him and her was friends.

Which begs the question, "why is he doing it." Surely people will just not use his sites and get their news for free from other sources.

This is why he is attacking the BBC and why he has become one of the "Friends of Dave." He wants the Tory party in his pocket in order to decide in media policy. He has already persuaded them to decide to close OFCOM, if they ever come to power and it will be he, who will decide on the regulations himself.

hey a post i can agree with you on ( we do have some common ground

)

yep forgot about that his son was on about that and a few other things basicaly trying to say they should stop the BBC and others providing free content ( yep i know we pay a license fee ) so they could make more money

hopefully though it will all back fire on him

It seems like a common theme this week for Murdoch.
